Princess Mononoke vol. 2 (Tokuma Anime Picture Book)

Continue the epic journey of Princess Mononoke (もののけ姫) with the lower volume of the Tokuma Anime Picture Book series. This richly illustrated book brings to life the second half of Hayao Miyazaki’s legendary Studio Ghibli film, capturing its most powerful and dramatic moments in full-color pages.

As Ashitaka ventures deeper into the sacred forest, he meets San, the fierce “Princess Mononoke” raised by wolves. Caught between the world of humans and the guardians of the forest, San fights alongside the beasts to protect their land from destruction. Ashitaka longs for peace, asking, “Is there no way for humans and the forest to live without conflict?” Yet his wish is overshadowed by an escalating war between Lady Eboshi’s ironworks and the gods of the wilderness.

This lower volume showcases the intense battles, the clash of ideals, and the poignant bond between Ashitaka and San. The story closes in breathtaking fashion, highlighting Miyazaki’s timeless themes of environmentalism, human ambition, and the fragile balance of coexistence.

With commentary by Fumi Saimon and carefully designed furigana for easy reading, this picture book is ideal for young readers, Ghibli collectors, and fans of Japanese animation alike. Together with the upper volume, it forms a complete adaptation of the movie in book format.
